Right then! 152 is the target for Hyderabad. A win here will make four wins in a row and their batters are in a good form as well. Punjab need to be top-notch with the ball. A cracking chase awaits on the other side of the break.
The man of the moment, Umran Malik is down for a chat! He says that he needs some time to realize what he has done here! Mentions that he does not mind the heat, as he is used to playing in the heat in Jammu. Adds that he has got his line and length better over the last few days, and his plan was to keep it full and straight.
Punjab will be disappointed that they didn't close the game on a high. They were in trouble at the start but the 71-run partnership between Liam Livingstone and Shahrukh Khan helped them reach a respectable total. Both were looking in good shape and had a target of around 180 but suddenly all started falling apart and all the big hitters, of Punjab, fell at a very wrong time. They needed a good finish but failed miserably.
Good comeback from Hyderabad who have done really well to stem the run flow in the last five overs. They started brilliantly and engulfed the top order for a timid score. Runs started to flow in the middle order but Bhuvneshwar Kumar came back and took the big wicket of Khan and minutes later, another big wicket of Liam Livingstone and made sure his team end the innings on a high. Hyderabad will be really happy with their performance and now it is up to their in-form batters to chase it down.
Superb stuff from the speedster, Umran Malik! Not a run was scored in the final over and bagged three wickets as well. It was all possible as Hyderabad created huge amount of pressure in the final five overs. And it was all possible as Bhuvneshwar Kumar took the wickets of Livingstone and Khan at a very crucial time.
